Philodendron Black Cardinal

Philodendron Black Cardinal – Dark, Dramatic, and Absolutely Gorgeous!

The Philodendron Black Cardinal is a showstopper, with its dark, almost black, velvety leaves that exude a bold, dramatic charm. As the leaves mature, they develop a deep reddish hue that adds a striking contrast to the plant’s sleek, glossy texture. Perfect for plant lovers who appreciate unique foliage, the Black Cardinal is not only a beauty but also an easy-to-care-for tropical gem that will thrive in your space.

🌱 Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its rich, dark color and promote healthy growth. Too much direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves, while too little light may cause slow growth and faded colors.
• Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Be sure to let the soil dry out slightly between waterings to avoid root rot.
• Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. If your home is on the dry side, using a humidifier or placing the plant in a more humid area will keep it healthy and vibrant.
• Soil: A well-draining potting mix is ideal. Choose a tropical mix with added perlite or orchid bark to ensure good drainage and healthy roots.
• Growth Tip: The Black Cardinal is a slow to moderate grower, but with a moss pole or trellis, it can climb beautifully. Regular pruning will help it grow in a fuller, more bushy shape.
